I'm a fellow investor in the St. Louis area as well. Happy to connect! I'm also focusing on south city neighborhoods (North Hampton, South Hampton, Dogtown, etc.)

If you want to connect with local investors in person, I help coordinate a monthly meet up that you all could join. Look up the St. Louis REI Happy Hour in BiggerPockets' Events section. Our next event is next Thursday, Nov. 21, and it's free! We'll also be raffling off some BiggerPockets books at this month's event. Hope to see some of you there!

The meetup next week will also be our holiday/end of year party! We'll be raffling off some BiggerPockets books as attendance prizes. Don't miss it!!

@Ryan Ulrich... where is the property specifically? I own 10 units in various areas throughout South St. Louis City. My latest is a duplex in Dogtown, and I may test out AirBnB on one side.

Our next meeting of the St. Louis REI Happy Hour, presented by True Title Company, will be on August 29th from 5 - 8pm in the 1942 Room of the Pat Connolly Tavern (in Dogtown).

This is a laid-back, networking-focused event that allows investors of all experience levels to engage with other like-minded individuals in the area. Connect, share, and learn with others who are active in the St. Louis real estate scene!

AGENDA:

• 5:00pm -- Networking begins. Beer, wine & appetizers available... thank you, sponsors!
• 6:00pm -- Announcements and a quick sponsor introduction from John Banjak (True Title Company, Banjak & Associates).
• 6:15pm -- 10-Minute Topic (plus time for questions) - topic to be announced shortly!
• 6:30pm -- Networking continues until bar closes at 8pm.

Thanks to all our sponsors, we will have appetizers, domestic beers and house wines available for our attendees. (Shout out to True Title Company, Banjak & Associates, Flat Branch Home Loans, Mogul Realty, and the Eric Brand Agency for Shelter Insurance!) Additional food and beverage options also available for purchase.

One of my tenants just contacted to say that, in addition to the other tenant on the lease leaving due to "emergency reasons," (not sure when that happened), she has now been instructed by her doctor to go on short-term disability, which cuts her salary and affects her ability to pay rent. She says she's not sure how to make ends meet, and she understands if we need to break the lease. (However, prior to me taking over self management, I know she was trying to break her lease due to unhappiness with the previous property management.)

Any other self managers out there have thoughts on how to handle this diplomatically, without letting anyone off the hook too easily? My first thought is to request a doctor's note. Other than that, I'm not quite sure. Her lease is up at the end of November.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

. But I would like to hear from you. 

I'm looking for recommendations for electricians and plumbers in St. Louis. I need professionals to call when maintenance needs arise at my rentals that my go-to handyman can't handle. Any other St. Louis investors who self-manage have some good contacts? Thanks!
